Scripts for the first five episodes of the yet-to-be-screened and highly-anticipated series eight of Doctor Who have been leaked online.
The leak is said to have come from BBC Worldwide's new Miami office, which was arranging translation of the new series for non-English speaking markets. The scripts are said to bear a BBC watermark, the name of a staffer and to be extremely detailed post-production scripts describing on-screen action as well as dialogue.
Unconfirmed rumours claimed the scripts were placed on a public server which was indexed by a search engine. An innocent search stumbled upon the scripts, which eventually made their way into torrents and sites such as Scribd.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Titanic, after-all you spent all that time searching for a successful movie/TV show/Book/outhouse/doghouse where everybody 'knew the ending', and what better example than that, right? Nope. Those stories, they were all designed with a certain amount of foreknowledge. James Cameron, for example, knew that you knew the Titanic sunk. But... but... that defeats my point, right? Nope. It was still suspenseful because the core of the movie wasn't about whether or not the ship would sink. Doctor Who, however, was not designed that way. Knowing whether or not Rose Tyler survived the Cybermen invasion made a big difference on how the last scene played out. Luckily jerks like you didn't come out of the wood-work to take that one from me. You were happy to do it with other season finales, but at least I got that one.
"Sorry but you sir were the one that wrote that dumb shit without thinking but feel free to keep right on digging yourself deeper into the hole, surely you can dig your way out if you just keep piling on the bullshit. ... Face it your reasoning is bullshit... oh BTW might want to tell the BBC to toss those Dr Who classic DVDs in the rubbish..."
Would this be the same BBC that made 'Sssh, no spoilers!' one of their catchphrases? Oh what about all those web-forums who specify 'no spoilers'? Surely those are redundant because of your oh-so-superior-rationalization. Oh... wait, turns out it's not, because we've already learned this lesson. You little spoiler-hungry yap-heads made that happen. Once you find something out, you can't keep it locked into that little skull of yours. Remember when the show resurfaced in 2005? If you're in America, your memory of that is at least 6 months later than if you were in the UK because that's how long it took to make its way over here. People downloaded it on-line and started threads like "The Daleks are back!!", and since half of Dalek's big reveal was that it was the last Dalek, lots of fun was sucked out for lots of people. That was one of a whole shit-ton of ass-hattery people like you have brought to the internet. I actively DON'T look for spoilers, but I cannot get away from you noisy turds. The only relief I have is that these days Doctor Who is legitimately available within a few hours of it airing in the UK. Now I have to dodge you loudmouths yet again for a whole season. The worst part is when you're disappointed, you'll have no clue that it was because you didn't watch it as intended, you'll just think the show sucks and then moan about that. Again.
